Not sure about YYZ, but in YYC there is a Customer Care Ambassador that checks to see if you have 'OSS' on your boarding pass. If you do, then you follow the OSS process. If you don't, then you follow the regular process. As well, there are passengers that are OSS eligible but then CBSA deems them ineligible (e.g.: transportation of firearms, importation of animals, dutiable items that require fee collection, etc.).
This shows why the system is even more of a farce, like the guy originating from non-OSS countries can't hand off stuff to one originating from OSS-eligible countries on the same flight into Canada. Don't get me wrong, I have benefited from the OSS protocol a couple of times now, but really they should just make all pax eligible or none are eligible.
